deterministic-core-llm-surface-pattern: Claude Skill that keeps 95 percent of an agent in deterministic code

The brief

A Claude Skill that states the 95/5 pattern: keep roughly 95 percent of an agentic system in deterministic, versioned code and confine model calls to the 5 percent that needs genuine language judgment.

Key points

  1. Its heuristic is whether running the same input twice must produce identical output.
  2. Logic that must be identical belongs in code, not a prompt.
  3. The repository has 7 commits and documents anti-patterns and testing implications alongside the rule.
